How to increase screen resolution of a netbook running Linux ?
Today I’d like to share with you all my new discovery.
I wanted to increase the resolution of my netbook (MSI Wind U100) running linux (I use ubuntu 11.04)
With XOrg there is a « Rotate and Resize » program that can be used to achieve such problem.
The utility is called xrandr (call man xrandr to see all options)
Just launch a terminal and type :
xrandr –output LVDS1 –mode « 1024×600″ –scale « 1.25×1.25″
You can also test every scaling factor till 2×2 (at that factor, screen becomes really unreadable)
If you want this to be executed each time you log in, just add as root, the above line in a new file there /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45×11-xrandr
Just reboot and see how useful is this utility !
See you
